Thabo Mashego, 35, died after being shot by two armed suspects in Saselani, Bushbuckridge, on Friday at around 21:00."We ask the police to apply all their resources to arrest my brother's assailants. His killers don't deserve bail. They must be kept in jail until they are convicted.
"They later fled with his vehicle. His death is still a shock to us. How can they kill him for his car? Why did they kill him? What wrong has he done to them?" Pinky described Thabo as a popular person. He was off-duty and travelling with two friends when they came under attack from two armed men on Friday night.
"The suspects then signalled Mashego to stop. He refused to stop. This seemingly prompted the assailants to fire shots at the vehicle, subsequently injuring its occupants.
